A late goal from Croatia’s Ivan Perisic last night descended titleholders Spain who took the lead 7 minutes into the game with Morata’s strike.
Following their lost, team manager Del Bosque remarked: ‘We can’t blame him (De Gea), the second was a counter-attack. The first one is close range. We lost and as I always say: we have all lost. All of us. We are all to blame.’
While some are blaming the defenders, others believe the goalkeeper under-fired during the night, claiming that the Manchester United man is overrated.
Spain will now face Italy in the round of 16.
David de Gea is so good that papers are slating him for a “blunder” because he got beaten at his near post. #worldnumberone

Iniesta could have done with break. Looked tired as game progressed. Pique not fault for either goal IMO. Ramos/De Gea shaky all game .

Until De Gea cuts out sloppy keeping like yesterday he won’t be in the same league as Buffon or Neuer.

First of all, De Gea has dropped from 10 to 2. I don’t think I can ever rate him higher ever again. Yesterday’s performance was horrendous.

Ramos: You’ve let us down. What a fraud.!
De Gea: he didn’t shoot directly at me, what did you expect? pic.twitter.com/J43oLq2Q0s

They say Cristiano is a superstar and De Gea is overrated. Cristiano has just taken one selfie. De Gea has kept some cleansheets.

If you really think De Gea is greater than Buffon, it’s either you’re mad or you’re mad.

“De Gea standards so high he’s literally not expected to concede any goals LMAOOO… Haters celebrate every time he concedes… Amazing”
